Electron Diffraction of Water in No Man's Land
Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry, Gabriele Bongiovanni
A generally accepted understanding of the anomalous properties of water will only emerge if it becomes possible to systematically characterize water in the deeply supercooled regime, from where the anomalies appear to emanate. This has largely remained elu ...
2022Climate change impacts on water sustainability of South African crop production
Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...
2022Intelligent Management of Underground Infrastructure
Today, different software exists to Predict the Likelihood of Failure (LoF) for the pipes in the water networks. The LoF is used to prioritize the pipes for renovation planning of the water networks. The modern techniques use statistical and/orMachine Lear ...
2021Long-term impacts of nutrient control, climate change, and invasive clams on phytoplankton and cyanobacteria biomass in a large temperate river
Recent studies suggest that climate change, with warmer water temperatures and lower and longer low flows, may enhance harmful planktic cyanobacterial growth in lakes and large rivers. Concomitantly, controlling nutrient loadings has proven effective in re ...
2020Optimizing the operating profit of young highways using updated bridge structural capacity
As more private firms participate in public projects aiming to increase their profits by adjusting operational strategies, there has been an increasing demand for structural identification in the operational phase. In this paper, we propose a framework for ...
2020The potential impact of case-area targeted interventions in response to cholera outbreaks: A modeling study
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger
Background Cholera prevention and control interventions targeted to neighbors of cholera cases (case-area targeted interventions [CATIs]), including improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccine (OCV), and prophylactic antibiotics, may be a ...
2018BETTER WATER INFRASTRUCTURES FOR A BETTER WORLD – THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF WATER ASSOCIATIONS
History shows that the economic prosperity of a society and its cultural wealth has always been closely related to the level of development of its water infrastructure. In view of climate change, especially dams and reservoirs, but also other water infrast ...
2017Molecular-level characterization of curved water interfaces with sum frequency and second harmonic scattering
Aqueous interfaces are omnipresent in nature. Some of them are visible: droplets in clouds, aerosols, and surfaces of oceans, lakes, and rivers. Many more surfaces are hidden: water in contact with cell membranes, proteins, and the surface of droplets in e ...
EPFL2017Optimizing drip irrigation for eggplant crops in semi-arid zones using evolving thresholds
Field experiments were combined with a numerical model to optimize drip irrigation management based on soil matric potential (SMP) measurements. An experimental crop of eggplant was grown in Burkina Faso from December 2014 to March 2015 and plant response ...
Elsevier2016Improving Risk Regulation
Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin
Confronted with the challenge of improving regulatory performance, many governments in the world are looking for ways to better manage risks, in particular those risks that develop in complex systems, with stakeholders from various sectors, and that are ma ...
